How to Make a Barn Quilt, Part 2: 2014 Edition

June 7, 2014 by persimondreams 2 Comments

If you missed it in an earlier post, the title probably gave it away.  I’m at it again – painting barn quilts. I’ll start by showing you some progress pictures on the Ohio Star Barn Quilt. IMG_9585 Four coats of the second color – a lighter blue are on! IMG_9587 I let all the paint try at least 8 hours before I pull the tape.  IMG_9599 Once that tapes off – it’s time to tape out the third color – barn red.  There’s a lot of barn red on this block and it’s going to look wonderful hanging on the white barn it’s going on. Now let’s check out how the Dutch Rose Barn Quilt is going. IMG_9586 I finished four coats of the second color – a grey. IMG_9588 Once the paint was thoroughly dry I pulled the tape. IMG_9589 Uh Oh – what’s this?  A little paint seeped under the tape.  In this case – not a big deal.  It seeped into a section of the quilt that will be painted black.  This is exactly why I paint from lighter to darker.  The black will cover up that bit of seepage no problem. IMG_9590 Now here we had a bit of seeping onto an already painted white area.  Once this whole quilt is done I’ll come back with a small brush and do some touch ups.  This should clean up nicely. IMG_9595 The third color –barn red – is now taped out.  I only had thinner frog tape left so I double taped it in the previously painted white areas of the quilt.  This way I don’t have to be as careful with my brush. IMG_9600 And here they are with the first coat of the third color – barn red!  (Sorry about the picture…the sun was being bright).

    What an interesting project. Are you really going to hang them on a barn?
